Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana'ole, Delegate to Congress and tireless worker for native Hawaiian rights, was born along the Po'ipu coast at Kukui'ula in 1871. He was the last royal heir to the Hawaiian throne. The foundation of his royal home and fishpond is part of Kuhio Park. The Ho'ai Heiau is also located here toward the back, left side. The Prince was so beloved that his birthday, March 26, is a state holiday and celebrated with island-wide cultural events.

Directions:

Take Highway 50 from Hanapepe toward Lawa'i. Just past Mile Marker #11 turn right on Koloa Road (Highway 530). Continue to Po'ipu Road and turn right again. The road forks near the ocean, take the left fork, Lawa'i Road. The Park is a short distance down the road on the right.
